-Name: introduces herself as Cal, when asked for her full name she gives any name including the letters C, A, and L, and the last name Blake -Gender: Female -Type: Banshee/Rakshasa -Appearance: As a human, Cal can appear as a young or old woman. As a young woman she's usually described as attractive with striking features and light skin. Her hair is a wavy auburn and her eyes are bright amber. She stands around five foot six. As an old woman she appears very frail - her eyes are a washed out gray and her hair hangs long and white. She hobbles around at the same height as her younger version, but she's usually bent over. -Age: somewhere in her twenties, appears around 24 or in her eighties. -Powers/Traits: Cal is a mixture of a banshee and a rakshasa. She is able to see when people will die by touching their skin, and will know if someone is a few minutes from death if she's in their presence, regardless of whether or not she's touched them. Her screams stop people in their tracks and can be loud enough to cause intense pain or shatter a human's ear drums. She can easily switch between her younger and older human appearance unless she's weakened. On her Rakshasa side, she can shape-shift into almost any land or sky animal. Like her human forms, her energy is expended in switching between shapes, not maintaining her current shape. It takes more energy to switch between large shapes than small shapes, but neither takes an excessive amount of energy. Whatever damage she takes in one form will appear in any other form she takes until she heals. She is well versed in English, French, Spanish, Russian, German, and Italian from her travels. She's trained in combat but prefers to avoid it, and is an excellent pavement and escape artist. Her specialty is being able to gain information from nearly anyone without them becoming aware or suspicious of what she is doing. -Background: Her mother died in childbirth, and Cal barely survived the process herself. Her mother's fae background and the complications of her birth made her into the part-banshee she is. She grew up with her father, a Rakshasa, and moved around the world a lot. He raised her as best he could, but Cal always got the impression he was training her for something rather than teaching her to grow up right. He taught her how secrets ran the world, and the best ways to discover those secrets. He told her how to blend into the world and move around without being noticed. He trained both her fight and flight responses so she'd be prepared for any situation. And then, when she was ready, he introduced her to the Bain and Hoyle company. For most of her father's life, he had worked for Bain and Hoyle. He was near the top of the company when he had Cal, and he worked a deal with them. If he took leave and trained his daughter to work for them and it all went according to plan, he would be given back his position when the training was finished. By the time she was seventeen she was past the level her father had been at when he joined the company, and she was introduced into the work. Her father returned to his former position and the began to use her to gather intelligence the agency needed from people for a few years. Gradually, she began to go on various other missions, although her specialty remains in efficient and clandestine information collection.
